[@entradieo]

Awesome skiing!! This kid is a very good skier! At age 12 he's already this good! He's gonna be a damn good skier in years to come! Thanks for sharing this run!

[@seamusgallaghan3395]

I'm 12 and I want to be just like u. I've been skiing for 3 years and I love it. Keep it up 😁

[@rrurban]

WOW!!! that is some very scary terrain. you're a tough kid to be able to do that. your instructor is an expert skier whomever that guy is, he's very good. he made it look effortless. keep it up kid, you're good!

[@robertdelena]

Way to go little man! You get your Man Card issued ahead of schedule.

[@michaeld.4006]

Good job man! You owned that piste!

[@DaveHoy1]

So this vid was posted 3.5 years ago and super impressive at 12 y/o. You never know what you're capable of until you test yourself. Wonder if Extreme Ryan has ever gone back. Nice post

[@lucasdelfino5358]

Nice skiing kid! Skiing out of bounds is dangerous, but you feel the mountain on it's true form.

[@elainenilsson5472]

I just started the steeps this past year, South Wall, Liberty Bowl and Challenger, even though the lift was broken. I took the Headwaters lift up to Challenger and I took a good look around. Nothing seemed to be out of reach for me. I'm hoping to expand on this next year exponentially. You are a great inspiration. Thank you for making these videos. You must be 14 now. Fist bump!!

[@persongoesnuts9311]

Wow, you skied this like a pro. I'm just about your age and I would have a bit of trouble doing this. You are amazing, and have an amazing future. Good luck!

[@jacobanzia1189]

You are amazing! Keep up the good work

[@petparadise6071]

I went on one like this in Japan when I was 11, and man was it crazy.! It was fun but scary and a challenge!!.

[@extreme_ryan_delena]

Hey, I'm the kid in the video. I have my own channel now. If you liked the video and would like to see more content check out my new edits. I'm 16 now and my skiing has improved as well as my editing.

[@christophermeyer3115]

this.is.awesome!!!

[@mstngken]

Good job that was a tough run for a 12 year old. At first I'm looking at your cam at the top it did not look that steep but when you started down I was like omg. I would like to try that run on a snowboard.

[@kevinfitzgerald4296]

Nice job! Your a brave one to be able to do that!

[@elainenilsson5472]

OMG, you are a kid after my own heart!! I envy you. I'm right behind you......I hope.

[@marybrewsterb]

Hey Ryan! I am 15 and I am planning on skiing the Big Couloir this year!!!!!!!! Any advice???

[@extreme_ryan_delena]

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I have a new channel and I don't get alerts for this video. I hope you got your chance to ski this line over the winter. If not my advice would be to side slip the first 10-20 feet just to feel what the snow conditions are like. Sometimes it can be a little icy at the top and jumping right into turns before you know the snow conditions can be hazardous. Take your time on the top section because it is a no fall zone. Go with someone you trust especially on your first time. Remember to bring your avy gear because patrol won't let you in without it. They only require avalanche gear to keep the tourists out and would not open the run unless it was completely safe.

[@longshot789]

Impressive

[@jonathancox8524]

gnarly bro

[@Ekircher5]

What is the instructors name?

[@extreme_ryan_delena]

Ekircher5 Ben Brosseau

[@lesliepark4593]

Is that an actual ski run behind him, at the beginning?

[@extreme_ryan_delena]

Leslie Park yes, it's called North Summit Snowfield. It's actually much easier than Big Couloir

[@dielitant9783]

He could work on his angles but he's still good.

[@schmedlywhiplash6267]

Good goin junior you the man! Now you can talk shit to the lady's!😘😘😘😘Go get em son!

[@classicj9125]

how old was he?

[@ragglefraggle24]

Classic J read the title genius

[@lesliepark4593]

I wanna see his face

[@Ceparator]

Noice dood

[@tyly3641]

Doesn't look crazy but still pretty gnarly I'm 11

[@extreme_ryan_delena]

Ty Ly GoPro has that effect, much steeper than it looks. In the early season there is a big rock in the middle of the top section called the "cheese grater" which makes it pretty gnarly depending on snow.

Nice job!
